We are very sad to share the news of Mike Vanderhoof's passing. ​We have no details beyond what was written in the news​,​ and are terribly sorry to learn about this. We are in touch with Mike's family, and are offering support to them during this incredibly difficult time.

I'm sure I speak for you when I say that the many volunteers and staff and fellow riders that make up the Americade family were hoping against hope ​for​ a miraculous end to this.

We have extended our deep condolences directly to Mike's family. We will update this post as more information becomes available, and will share the specifics about Mike's funeral services.

Lastly, we want to thank the many police agencies involved in this extensive search.
